^I thought that too at first, I just think this guy looks way too young to be Dustin Lance Black? Also, the file says 'Kyle' and then different numbers.
Anyway, didn't want to spam the thread, but if anyone finds out who he is, please do tell..

A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST: Fresh on the heels of photographing the spring ad campaign for Prada’s men’s line, Hedi Slimane has focused his lens on Los Angeles-based artists. The former Dior Homme designer assembled an impromptu studio at the Mandrake Bar, a low-key watering hole opened by artists Justin Beal and Drew Heitzler in the middle of Culver City’s art galleries, to take photos of artists for his personal Web site. He later posted a series of 19 images on Dazed & Confused’s digital publication. As might be expected of creatives who’d rather stand behind a canvas than in front of a camera, rarely do any of Slimane’s subjects look directly at the lens. Kori Newkirk actually covers his face with his hands. The black-and-white set includes a close-up of Beal’s baby face seasoned with stubble and an image of Whitney Bedford hiding under a fringe of blonde hair.

The ongoing project helps put a face to Los Angeles’ vibrant art scene, which began attracting Slimane’s interest a couple of years ago.

“I did a previous project on New York-based artists a few years ago, but I spend most of my time in Los Angeles, and have observed how the artists in L.A. are rejuvenating the L.A. art scene,” Slimane explained. “The sense of expansion [and] the possibilities offered to artists to experiment with space, remind me of Berlin. Besides, the tradition of Southern Californian art has always [had] a strong impact on me.”

As for returning to fashion, Slimane acknowledged it is an option. “It is an interesting time now to observe and see how design — and the rules of the industry around [it] — will evolve and eventually transform,” he said.
